Probate

We understand that the death of a loved one is a distressing time and dealing with their estates can seem a daunting and challenging task. Our team are highly experienced at offering caring, sympathetic and sensitive advice for any client facing this predicament. Regardless of the size of the estate we handle, we look to offer cost effective and timely advice to Executors or Administrators to ease the stress and burden of seeing the distribution of the estate through to its conclusion.

In particular, we can help:

• obtain Probate or Letters of Administration
• deal with and advise upon Inheritance Tax
• gather in all the assets of the estate,
• settle any liabilities
• deal with the distribution of the estate to the beneficiaries
• advise Executors or Administrators on discharging their duties and minimizing the risk of incurring any personal liability.

Disputes

Unfortunately, disputes can arise when someone dies. Whether the validity of the Will is in question, or close friends/family members/dependants wish to challenge a provision which has been made, we have the expertise to assist you.
